PMSE Fellows Program

The Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering Division Executive Committee is pleased to announce the launch of the PMSE Fellows Program.

PURPOSE OF FELLOWS PROGRAM
To honor a small percentage of PMSE members who have made significant contributions to the science and engineering of polymeric materials.

CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY
A PMSE Member in good standing for at least five (5) years.

SELECTION CRITERIA
- Recognition for specific scientific or technological contributions to polymer materials science and engineering or applied polymer science, such as:
  - Development of a polymer characterization tool
  - Invention of a polymerization catalyst
  - Discovery of a fundamental concept or principle in polymer science or engineering
  - Leadership of, or substantial contribution to, the commercialization or manufacture of polymeric materials or processes
  - Advancement of the science or engineering of polymeric materials
  - (Co)inventorship of a key patent or (co)authorship of a key paper in polymeric materials science and engineering
- Recognition of the overall advancement of the field of polymeric materials science and engineering, such as:
  - Establishment of, or strong contribution to, polymer education or public image initiatives
- Recognition for service to the PMSE Division, while not a primary criterion, may be used as a secondary consideration
NOMINATION PROCESS
- Candidates can be nominated by other PMSE members.
- Nominations should be sent to the Chair of the Selection Committee (Prof. Douglas Wicks , please see contact information below.) by October 15 each year to be considered for induction at the next Spring ACS meeting.
- The nomination packets shall consist of:
  - At least two (2) nomination letters by cognizant individuals
  - Supporting information (if available), e.g. key point resume, news clippings, testimonials by others (especially for proprietary work)
